Carrie Underwood discusses her love of fitness and keeping healthy in a new interview with Women’s Health.
Underwood insists her current version of healthy involves tracking calories and macros.
She shares, “I love rules. This is how I feel good about myself, and this is how I operate.”
Underwood adds that “her happy place” is 45 per cent carbs, 30 per cent fat, and 25 per cent protein.
The singer also talks about how the comments about her weight during 2005’s “American Idol” drove her to pay more attention to how she was eating.
She admits the plan then backfired because she began undereating.

“I would ‘fall off the wagon,’ then feel terrible and repeat the cycle,” Underwood explains, adding that she would sometimes eat as few as 800 calories a day. “Your body is screaming ‘I need more calories. I need more carbs!’”
Underwood also says she works out seven days a week if she can because the next week she might only get two days.
